What is Application Frontend Service?

Application Frontend is a SaaS application which is not coupled to any specific SAP BTP runtime environment or other SAP BTP applications. You can find and subscribe to the service from the SAP BTP cockpit. Application Frontend is also equipped with a service broker to support interaction flows using service instances, for example when using MTA deploy in the CF environment. 

While there is native support in the good old MTA concept for lifecycle management, Application Frontend also provides a command line interface (CLI) as a first-class tool for managing your applications. With the CLI, you can directly interact with the service and execute all actions supported by Application Frontend to enjoy fast response times and new integration opportunities.
